This is like when the Telegraph review of my book pitched a hissy fit when I said the Falklands War was colonial. What does the Telegraph think “colonial” means, if not exploration and, well, colonies??? www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

As a professional art historian I, however, do think they are prudish simpletons.

Spotted, in the wild. A transgender. Such a danger to society that they must be banned from all bathrooms as a sensible reasonable and proportional measure. Can't you sense the threat? It radiates out of the screen.

Kneecap telling Sharon Osborne to go and listen to War Pigs is such a superb fuck-you. (She’s angry they protested the genocide in Gaza during their Coachella set)

World Central Kitchen in Gaza are having to burn shipping pallets because there's no fuel to cook with. Now their supplies are running out due to the blockade preventing delivery of aid and supplies.

This is the kind of practical action we need as the culture war escalates. Wild that a small music venue is prepared to do this while massive, wealthy institutions like my employer - a university - are not. But this is where people can put pressure as employees, customers, and service users.

This is an excellent article - I have some additional thoughts from a feminist perspective on the consequences of this Supreme Court judgment, rather than just my legal ones: Thread 🧵

“This story of an English knight who killed a dragon is completely untrue - he was from Turkey” is actually very funny when you think about it

It's not legitimate to segregate disabled people either. There already aren't enough disabled toilets, and their provision if often an after thought. Our political goal needs to be more, accessible toilets for everyone.

One of the saddest aspects of TERFism is how it convinces cis women that gender essentialism is the purest form of feminist thought

They're going after Parkrun again, you know, that event where lots of people of all ages, abilities and genders run around a local park and it not, in any form, a race?

For all the pathetic attempts to "legitimise" this week's Supreme Court decision, this is, at the end of the day, the outcome. It's the outcome of relentless hate and hostility aimed at trans and non-binary individuals. This is why showing support is so important. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“Trans people are less than 1% of the population. Trans people are not the reason you can't afford eggs, or pay your rent. I think you might be focused on the wrong 1%.” - Bristol Central MP @carladenyer.bsky.social quotes Laverne Cox at trans rights demo in Bristol today.

At City Hall in Bristol, protesting for trans rights. Trans rights are human rights. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary and intersex people exist. The crowd is big and keeps getting bigger.

Nando's has a 32,000 piece collection of South African art that it displays in its restaurants around the world. It's rare to find such a positive corporate story, but the artists I spoke to who sell work every few months to the chain said it was a big reason they could be full-time artists

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear.” She was about to get married; a film about her life in Gaza had just been finished. 10 of her family were killed with her. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.

I'm sure suing the NHS and depriving it of money will definitely make it safer for women. And forcing trans men to be placed in women's wards won't cause any problems at all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
